greeniche Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm using 1.4.7.3 and wounder if I should upgrade as I have seen so many people here facing different upgrading problems. I'm very new to prestashop so I am very panic to do any upgrade fearing the shop would disappear in a second. Even I do, how should I back up the all the information I have put in my shop? Thank you very much. Coral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily_d Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Create a beta directory where you copy your current prestashop installation. Import your current prestashop database, and import it with another name. Configure your beta prestashop installation to work with your new database and your new location (it's like a migration). Then upgrade your beta installation and test it. I really mean test it. Create new clients. Create new orders. Add remove products, categories etc... If you don't find problems, you'll have no fear upgrading. If you do find problems, you can try to fix them without hampering your current prestashop installation.

benwiggy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 What do you hope to gain from the upgrade? Then ask yourself if the gain is worth the risk of data not being migrated correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
